In his acceptance speech, the newly turbaned “Dan Galadiman Faggo”, Aminu Adamu Faggo, expressed appreciation to the District Head for the honour and confidence bestowed on him and pledged to contribute his quota towards the development and progress of the Girawa/Faggo traditional institution.

Also speaking, a retired Permanent Secretary in the Bauchi State Ministry of Commerce and Industry who is also the “Galadiman Faggo”, Alhaji Adamu Abdullahi Faggo, commended the District Head for conferring the title on his son.
